I recently went to the Chesapeake for my first attempt at catching snakehead, but I missed my two only blowups on a frog, one of them a 30-incher! Forgive me, I hadn't caught a fish on frogs since my first ever smallmouth in 2007, so I would also appreciate any help in improving my frog game, especially in lures, presentation, and HOOKING. Here's what I'll use next time: -Rod: Shimano Expride 7'2" MH/Fast -Reel: Shimano Antares DC-7 LV (7.1:1) -Line: Daiwa J-Braid Grand 40 lbs. (Gray light) Is this appropriate for snakeheads?

Landed my first carp of 2022, and my first fish on the hair rig!

Post-spawner on BX Brat! Bet this one pushed 4 pounds pre-spawn!

From my first ever Chesapeake Bay outing came my first ever blue cat, white perch, and white (?) catfish:

I've had better luck in rivers than lakes.

I have some 10 lb. Sufix 832 spooled on my Daiwa Tierra 1500 and haven't used it at all since November 2019. That's almost 3 years without being wet. Will it still be fine or should I respool?

Forgot my camera when I caught an estimated 5-pound smallie on a Pop-R back in September 2013! ?‍♂️

All your dedication paid off BIG time!

Here it came! This was the best way to compensate for a rough day at work!

It's almost that time of the year!

So I finally bit the bullet: the new Shimano Conquest DC 100HG!

Hello, fellow bass fishermen! You can call me Ken and I've been fishing since I was 5. Bass got me hooked big time, and smallmouths have been my go-to species since I grew up along the Susquehanna! I also enjoy going after different species such as catfish, carp, and even trout! I hope to enrich my fishing knowledge and experience with you in this forum! Keep on fishing!
